A few weeks ago, the Globe and Mail reported that Spanish drug maker Griffols was making and selling products that contained blood plasma donated by Canadians.

Upon learning of the report, Riding Mountain MP and Conservative Health Critic Dan Mazier joined several of his party members in calling for an investigation into this.

Mazier says weeks have passed, with no response from the government. 

"It has been crickets, which is totally unacceptable!  There are more news reports coming out with the Globe and Mail reporting on this issue of Canadians donating blood, and a foreign multi-national basically making money off of those donations, which is not right.  And we need to get to the bottom of it." 

Mazier also wants an investigation into reports that Brookefield Asset Management - which has been invested into in the past by Prime Minister Mark Carney - have made several attempts over the past year to purchase Griffols.
